    I mean Niger (and other West-African nations) have been exploited to hell and back by France (who’s probably involved in the current military deployment). No wonder a new government would seek to ally with someone else instead, and I don’t think China is in the coup business.

      I have absolutely no doubt he plans to yell genuinely fair criticism of the French capitalist devils as he ruthlessly exploits his people in his fascist dictatorship.
